The Annual Pittsburgh Pirates Fire Sale

Well, the All-Star Game is upon us and the trading deadline isn't too far away. Yes, Pirates fans, it's time for that time honored tradition. The annual fire sale. Any predictions on who will be gone this year, so that we can begin rebuilding for the future?

I doubt we'll be selling much. Maybe Chacon or Torres, possibly Wilson, but that's it. We don't really have alot of guys making much money or who are going to be free agents soon. Next year I think is when we'll either have to make a run, or have a big fire sale.

Torres for sure....

Sad but true! Every year the Pirates roster is gleened over by other teams like vultures looking over fresh roadkill for anything worth taking. That is why the Pirates and the Royals will continue to serve MLB as farm clubs for developing talent until we get some ownership committed to winning. Build a winning team and the fans will come.....it doesn't work the other way around.
